Work for self or others? Two different kinds of burnout in China.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Although much research has been done on occupational burnout, most studies focus on employees (EM), with insufficient attention given to the self-employed (SE). This study adopts a novel quantitative approach using methods like the entropy weight method, multiple linear regression, and the Boruta algorithm to analyze burnout differences between EM and SE. Results indicate that EM are more influenced by stress and external, deficiency-induced burnout, while SE are driven by interest and internal, imbalance-induced burnout. Social network support is a key factor in predicting burnout for both groups. Interestingly, increased financial support from family raises burnout risk for EM, while greater social network support increases burnout risk for SE. These findings reflect inherent differences in work patterns and resource mobilization strategies. This research expands the application of the Job Demands-Resources model and provides insights for tailored mental health interventions across different occupational contexts.
